Changes in the distribution of magnetic resonance (MR)-observable brain metabolites N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), total choline (Cho), and creatine (Cre), following mild-to-moderate closed-head traumatic injury (mTBI) were evaluated using volumetric proton MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). Studies carried out during subacute time period injury, associations metabolite indices with neuropsychological test (NPT) results evaluated. Twenty-nine subjects mTBI Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores 10–15...
Long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae are a potential concern in neonates following utero exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus disease 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We report born SARS-CoV-2 positive mothers, who displayed early-onset (day 1) seizures, acquired microcephaly, and significant developmental delay over time. Sequential MRI showed parenchymal atrophy cystic encephalomalacia. At birth, neither infant was (nasopharyngeal swab, reverse transcription polymerase chain...
Introduction: The utility of ChatGPT has recently caused consternation in the medical world. While it been utilized to write manuscripts, only a few studies have evaluated quality manuscripts generated by AI (artificial intelligence). Objective: We evaluate ability case report when provided with framework. also provide practical considerations for manuscript writing using AI. Methods: compared written blinded human author (10 years experience) on rare presentation common disease. used...
<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> Hyrtl fissure is a rare cause of congenital CSF otorrhea in infants, with only few cases previously described the English literature. Given predisposition to repeated ear and intracranial infections, identification this bony anomaly critical diagnosis management recurrent meningitis or otitis media child, especially presence otorrhea. We describe 3 entity specific focus on embryologic basis etiology conventional advanced imaging features unique entity.
Previous studies have evaluated motor and extramotor cerebral cortical regions in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using 1 H MRS, but none the thalamus or basal ganglia. The objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate subclinical involvement ganglia ALS MRS. Fourteen (52 ± 7 years) sporadic definite 17 age‐matched controls were studied volumetric MRSI on a 3‐T scanner. concentration metabolites N ‐acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho) their ratio (NAA/Cho) obtained...
Changes in the distribution of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) observed metabolites N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), total-choline (Cho), and total-creatine (Cre) entire intracranial corticospinal tract (CST) including primary motor cortex were evaluated patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The study included 38 sporadic definite-ALS subjects 70 age-matched control subjects. All received whole-brain MR imaging spectroscopic scans at 3T clinical neurological assessments...
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have demonstrated that measures of altered metabolism axonal injury can be detected following traumatic brain injury. The aim this study was to characterize compare the distributions image parameters obtained by these methods in subjects with a range severity examine their relative sensitivity for diagnostic group subjects. DTI volumetric magnetic spectroscopic data were acquired 40 had experienced closed-head...
Abstract Purpose Recurrence for high-grade gliomas is inevitable despite maximal safe resection and adjuvant chemoradiation, current imaging techniques fall short in predicting future progression. However, we introduce a novel whole-brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy (WB-MRS) protocol that delves into the intricacies of tumor microenvironments, offering comprehensive understanding glioma progression to inform expectant surgical intervention. Methods We investigated five locoregional...
The potential for pulmonary involvement among patients presenting with novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) is high. To investigate the utility of chest imaging in this setting, we correlated clinical presentation radiographic and CT findings proven H1N1 cases. Subjects included all laboratory-confirmed between 1 May 10 September 2009 to one three urban hospitals. Clinical information was gathered retrospectively, including symptoms, possible risk factors, treatment hospital survival....
Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is characterized by multiple severe congenital malformations including an abdominal and/or thoracic defect covered amnion, a short or absent umbilical cord with the placenta almost attached to anterior fetal wall, intestinal malrotation, scoliosis, and lower extremity anomalies. There no consensus about etiology of LBWC many cases abnormal facial cleft do not meet requirements for true complex. We describe series four patients other in attempt explain their...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain trauma is known to result in heterogeneous patterns of tissue damage and altered neuronal glial metabolism that evolve over time following injury; however, little on the longitudinal evolution these changes. In this study, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) was used map distributions a single subject at five points period 28 months injury. METHODS Magnetic volumetric MRSI data were acquired had experienced moderate traumatic brain injury...
